Treasury, under her Britannia Ma
jestys rule, has refused to inform
the House of Parliament, how many
of that ladies relatives are holding
government appointme nts, and
drawing support from the public
funds.
When this report is made public,
as in course of time it will have to
be, in spite of Smith and all the
rest of the lickspittle gang, it will
be interesting, to say the least off it.
More interesting still, however,
would be a report, as to how many
of these dead beats are. qualified to
hold the positions, qualified to do
anything in fact, appertaining to the
same, with the exception of drawing
the salaries.
1t is safe to say that not one of
them is fitted but in that solitary re-
spect, nor has ever passed the com
petitive examination required by law;
it being a notable fact, that the only
proclivities in which the Guelhps ex-
cell, are, getting drunk, gambling,
and seducing other mems wives.
Itwould also be very interesting
to know how many sinecures, orna-
mental, useless positions, have been
manufactured by Victoria for the
benefit of these loafers. Truly their
name is legion, for though the
Queen dearly loves to see her rela-
tives and hangers-on supported in
lives of ease and luxury, "beftting
their rank" she is too mean to do it
herself. In past times there we're
few sinecures sticking out" for
scions of "noble' houses, but though
these have increased rather than di-
minished during
"this glorious reign"
to the woe of the British taxpayer,
they are now entirely monopolized
by royalty, and it's numerous appen-
dages.
This same Smith, by the way, is
an English "snob" of the most con-
temptable order, far more so in fact
than an aristocrat. Like many
of his sort, having risen from the
humblest ranks of life, he is now
worse enemy to the laboring classes,
than any titled blackguard in Eng
land. William Henry Smith, began
life selling newspapers on the streets
of London, and was fifteen years of
age before he ever donned a pair of
shoes or stockings. He was what
is known MS "street arab did not
know in fact who his father was, his
earlies. recollections being associated
with archways in the slums of Lon
don, and embrasures in the numer-
GUS bridges which span the Thames.
Being taken in hand by bookseller
in the Strand, he acquired consid-
erable education and learned that
business. Eventually, succeeding
his benefactor, he steadily increased
the business, until it grew to its pre-
sent gigantic proportions, which ex-
ceed that of any similar concern in
the world. Smith was originally re-
turned to parliament as working
mans canidate, but like many more,
has found. that it paid him better to
sell theinterests and dliberties of these
to the crown. Since he espoused
the Tory cause, his influence has
been SO vast, that working men, who
mistrusting him and others ofhis sort
would fain have supported Liberals
did not dare to do SO, as such action
meant starvation for themselves and
their families.

HOW TO SHOCK CORN.
A Method That Recommends Itself by It's
Simplicity.

Method That Recommends Itself by It's
Simplicity.
First cut it and lay it in piles large
enough for good-sized bundles. Bind
the bundles as near the tips as will
hold together well, and as tightly as
you can with binder Irvine. It would
be better to bind further down, but
the bundles would be liable to mould
Put six or eight bundles in shock,
then bind the shocks tightly with
binder Irvine as close as can be and
hold altogether well. tying always
with bow knot that they may unite
easily, and that the strings
may be saved for next year.
When all this is done
take your last bundle. spread it
apart in the middle and set it point
upward over the top of the shock,
spreading the stalks around evenly ON
all sides and drawing it down over the
top of the shock closely that it may
shed rain. 1t will be better to have
two hands to do this last job well.
Such a shock as this will seldom ever
fall down, and will shed rain much
better than the old-fashioned shock,
and if convenient, may be left in the
field all winter
When you wish to haul in your corn
shocks it will be best TO take two men
to pitch and one to load But
one man alone can get on toler-
able load without any help With
two to pitch LET the pitchers insert their
forks in opposite sides of the cap
bundle and lifting together throw it on
the wagon. Then unite the shock and
lift the other bundles on in the same
manner. Parties accustomed to the
old-fashioned way of handling corn
fodder will be surprised to see how
easily they can handle corn in the fod-
der this way. It can be hauled in and
stacked in the bundle and husked out
in the winter if desirable. or may be
husked in the field and rebound, to be
handled, if preferred. 1t is better for
one man to cut aud one TO bind and
two to shock. Cor. Prairie Farmer.

Hay-Fever Staus.,s.,.

The oldest note of national, personal
and sexual superiority l ever heard of,
SAYS London Truth. is susceptibility to hay
fever. In DIR. MoSeH Mackenzie's admira-
BILE monograph on bhis complaint and its
treatment / fEd that among races the En-
glish and American, among classes, the
upper and cultivated, and of the sexes the
male sex are easily susceptible to hay
fever. In the north of Europe it is almost
unknown: it is rare in France, Germany,
Italy and Spain, whereas in England it is
frequent and in America prevalent. Again,
ninety per cent. of its martyrs are of
the upper class, while agricultural labor
ers who are most exposed to the cause of
the complaint are least subject to it's at
lacks. Lastly, the male sex is more liable
TO it than the female, in the ratio of three
10 OEs.

JOSS III NEW YORK.
Description of tho Place Where Mott
Streets Cinnamon Worship.

Description of tho Place Where Mott
Streets Cinnamon Worship.
The small almond-eyed disciple Of Con
fucius who guarded the entrance to the
Joss House on Chatham square, gave one
long scrutinizing stare when a New York
Commercial AdreTtiSer reporter asked to
be shown into the temple of his god. The
heather deity has been suffering more or
less from the effects Of a free bath given
by sacrilegious tiremen while attempting
to extinguish fire in the building where
he resides After consulting some eight
or ten of his fellows, who came out OF every
hole and crevice and poked their haads
from a dozen door-ways, the little China
man decided to admit the reporter. The
room is large and airy. but has the unmis-
taxable opium smell peculiar to all Chinese
resorts.
On a walnut table, placed in the center
of the room, is the incense bowl, in which
short reeds, brought from China for the
purpose, are slowly burning and sending
out sickering perfume. These stems,
which resemble miniature cat-tails, are
placed in the bowl by devout Cinnamon
who drop in to pay their respects TO Joss
and ask his blessing on their fan-tan
ventures There is no fixed time for
Chinese worship; their god is always in.
If one of them feels as though he ought to
so in and make up with the little image,
he walks right up to the gildsd shrine,
draws aside the drapery and kneels be-
fore it. He doesn't waste much time.
After moments quiet meditation
he is on his feet again, and, lighting the
tiny reed, places it in the incense bowl
and walks away. All the large pieces of
furniture about the room have been
brought from China, and are exhibitions Of
the marvellous patience which character
ICES the race.
Four ebony chairs placed on either side
of the room are handcarved in the most
elaborate way, and small table, shaped
from G. solid block Of the same material,
shows the graceful lines of a finished
sculptor. The most imposing place OF fur
nture, az it is also the most imp ortant,
outside Of Joss himself, is the temple in
which the latter god sits. It IS modelled
in the style OK an altar, and has numerous
small figures set in coy little notches and
out OF the way corners. Tho images and
symbols are all cut by hand, and the en-
tire easement, which is deliberately COW
cred, was done in the same way. In fact,
every thing in this heather temple bears
evidence OF care, and an amount of labor
altogether Inconsistent with the ideas Of
modern civilization. The god is not ex-
posed to view, and when the reporter in
nocently drew aside the silk curtain to ex-
anime the makeup CT his wooden majesty
he was hustled away in lively style, and
the parting salutes were all on one side.

made bet with q few friends that he
could show them at least six heads of red
hair without the presence Of q white horse

were seven "lay" heads adorned with red
wigs. In the midst of Wilkins exultetion,
